You have a couple of choices:

1.  Use a PostgreSQL large object.

2.  Use a bytea field.

With later versions of PostgreSQL, it a matter of personal preference as to
which one you use.  Earlier version had an approximately 8K limit to the
tuple size, so large objects were were needed for data with a size > 8K.
